Suzanne Somers Brings Her Top-Selling Fitness, Beauty, Food and
Jewelry Lines Directly to Consumers with SUZANNE™
As SUZANNE Consultants,
Consumers Can Build Own Businesses Offering Somers' Popular Items
at Home Parties
Suzanne Somers, one of America's most popular and beloved
personalities, as well as a highly successful businesswoman,
launched her long-awaited direct sell company
SUZANNE to help empower
others to achieve their personal goals and to answer the
nationwide demand for more Suzanne Somers products. Headquartered
in Grand Rapids, Michigan, SUZANNE
offers an opportunity to join a close-knit community of
consultants, work independently from home, make extra money, and
build business skills, all while having fun. With more than 100
different Suzanne Somers products, each handpicked and tested by
Suzanne, SUZANNE consultants sell quality items that people know
and trust. For the first time, consumers and their family members,
neighbors and friends can now select their favorites from four
categories (Beauty, Food, Jewelry, and Fashion) at home parties
hosted by SUZANNE consultants.
"SUZANNE is more than a business to me," said Suzanne Somers. "It
stands for financial independence and a circle of friendship that
cannot be broken. It is an equal opportunity for young women,
mothers whose children are in school, retirees or anyone who wants
to be in charge of his or her own business. It is a door that can
be opened by anyone, fully supported by a team that is waiting to
help them become successful. SUZANNE has an array of delicious
foods, gorgeous jewelry, fitness, and skin and beauty solutions to
help people look and feel fabulous—there's something for everyone
and every pocketbook."
SUZANNE consultants
have the flexibility to work when they want, to be their own boss,
set their own goals, and grow at their own pace. Including
everything needed to launch their operations, the SUZANNE business
kits contain a combination of products, catalogs, host party
planners, order forms, a training DVD, a consultant manual, script
cards, invitations, thank you cards, opportunity brochures, and a
carry-all tote. Individuals may select a SUZANNE beauty kit,
SUZANNE food kit, or SUZANNE master kit. In addition, each
consultant is provided with a SUZANNE personal consultant website,
free of charge for a whole year with their kit, making it easy for
their customers to re-order products and for consultants to run
their businesses.
Along with sales and recruiting incentives, consultants can earn
commissions of up to 40% on retail sales, a 5% monthly personal
bonus, and up to 12% on team sales.

fixes for a failing website

Webcopy
Plus
http://www.webcopyplus.com
If your
website's not performing, here's what you can do to improve search
engine rankings, engage visitors and convert more sales.
1.
Align the site with your objectives
Have
your business objectives and goals changed since you launched your
website? If so, then you need to revisit your website's content to
ensure it supports your current business needs.
2.
Remove useless items
Every
item on your website competes for your visitors' attention, reducing
the impact of your key message. Is that welcome message necessary? Are
some of those buttons redundant? Scrutinize every element to help
deliver a strong message and eliminate distractions.
3.
Update your information
Keep
time-sensitive information on your website up to date. If you don't
have adequate resources, keep time-sensitive information to a minimum.
4.
Edit your web copy for consistency
Businesses often have different people adding web copy at different
times, which leads to inconsistencies. Review your copy from start to
finish with a keen eye on spelling, format, style, narration, tense,
flow and so on.
5.
Split text blocks into scannable chunks
Massive
blocks of text discourage visitors from exploring your website. Break
up web copy with relevant headlines, subheads, bullet points and
short, one-topic paragraphs. Your visitors will thank you by spending
more time on your site.
6.
Review fonts
Check
your fonts to ensure consistent size, style and spacing. Consider
using a style sheet. Fonts optimal for the Web include Arial, Courier,
Georgia, Time New Roman and Verdana.
7.
Add new web copy
Add
relevant web copy frequently to satisfy visitors and search engines
alike. Improve search engine rankings and give your visitors a reason
to keep coming back.
8.
Refresh your graphics
Renew
your image with new graphics, charts and photos. Many are royalty
free. Type in terms like "clip art," "graphics," and "free photos"
into your favorite search engine and you're on your way.
9.
Make your graphics search engine friendly
Give
your images "alt" tags with keywords to help improve search engine
rankings.
10.
Consider your color theme
Go over
your colors to ensure they are a part of or at least complement your
logo and brand. Dump backgrounds that make it difficult to read web
copy.
11.
Extinguish flashing content
Flashing
content irritates visitors and turns them away. It's one step away
from announcing, "Congratulations! You're the 1,000,000th visitor!
Click here to claim prize!" If you want it to make a point, do so with
compelling web copy, placement, font size or color.
12.
Speed it up
Your
pages should load fast. Don't make your visitors wait 30 seconds or so
just to watch your logo spin around. How many times have you retreated
from a site while waiting for its intro to load? Relevant web copy is
much more likely to grab the attention of a potential client.
13.
Re-evaluate PDFs
Are you
guilty of throwing PDFs onto your website to save time? PDFs are
designed for print, not the Web. Unless it's an e-book or a form,
offer the information as a webpage and give your visitor the option of
viewing it as a PDF.
14.
Leave music to the DJs
Don't
blast music at your visitors. It slows access to your site and can
cheapen your presentation. If music is required, hand over the
controls to your visitor by making it optional.
15.
Repair or delete broken links
Check
all your links and be quick to repair or delete any that bring your
visitors to the '404 file not found' message. If a section is under
construction, take it offline.
